I've usually done that something like this:

staccatoFour = \markup{\musicglyph #"scripts.staccato" \musicglyph
#"scripts.staccato" \musicglyph #"scripts.staccato" \musicglyph
#"scripts.staccato"}
\repeat tremolo 4 g8_\staccatoFour

This is far from optimal, but I think you can tweak it to be placed a
little better.

It'd be nice to be able to write something like this instead:

\override Staff.expandTremoloArticulation = ##t
\repeat tremolo 4 g8-.

This would take quite a bit of work though.

Buona fortuna.
